About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying my life.

ABOUT ME

After finishing waldorfschool in south germany (wangen im allgaeu) I studied mecanical-engineering in the Netherlands Rijswijk, near Den Haag. After finishing this studie I worked 3 jears in Dortmund by a little factory as designer for recumbent- and tandem-bikes. The factory is very nice (www.hasebikes.com) and I had a nice time there. One day I thought, lets choose my life! I decided to go to brazil working as volunteer in the Asossiaçao Comunitaria Monte Azul. I was there sinds august 2008 and it was very nice:-) In the morning I gave Cello lesson to children and in the afternoon I worked in a kindergrden. Thats verry nice too!
Back in germany Im worked again in this little factory as bikedesigner. Afer one yaer prental leaf Im working in freiburg as bikedesigner for the Cycling Sports Groep.

PHILOSOPHY

I did nothing in my life where I thought afterwards: What tha fuck have I waste me time! But untill now I had often the idea to trie out other things. Im not that kinde of person who will work for the same factory in the same job the whole life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to learn more about other countries and their people. During my work I learnd a lot, but I want to connect with more people from brazil and all over the world! I think couchsurfing ist the best way to come in contact with foreign people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heared a lot of nice stories about couchsurfing but I have only some expierience at the moment. But Im looking forward to make a lot of experiences

Interests

I like the nature (mountainbiking, walking, enjoying), I like Musik (playing, lissening and dancing) and travelling and talking with people is also a big interest of me.
